After the press conference, I don't see KP going anywhere this summer. Kidd isn't a good enough public speaker to be trying to pump up a trade value. KP is probably a huge reason for the MBT shakeup and I'm sure one of Cubes mandates for his new hires was to try and right that ship.
I doubt a second or even two does it. Maybe attaching Brunson to him?
If we were really go down this route of keeping KP and THJ and getting Lowery, maybe you can S&T Lowry (I would prefer Ball) for Brunson/Powell/JRich and sign Noel (another center we are rumored to be in on) with the MLE. You still have the BAE as well. Then you are starting Noel/KP/DFS/Luka/Lowry with a bench of WCS/Maxi/Green/THJ/Burke and using the room to get a backup point guard. That would not be terrible.
